Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
When I was taking lots of meds (mood stabilizer, anti-psychotic, anti-depressant, anti-anxiety and sleeping pills)...I, understandably, couldn't remember my dreams. But now I have lots of epic dreams or nightmares.
I dream a lot about natural disasters (my father always told me it was interpreted as an "unstoppable force of nature"), and a few things that make sense (like running away, hiding, being chased).
But some of them are just plain weird. Make no sense to me. Like hanging out w/ my kids' father (whom I despise) and knowing in my dream that it must be a dream b/c I wouldn't hang out w/ him. Or taking rides on these crazy fast ferries with most of my family, including Dad (who passed away in 2002) and Dad kept getting angry (which is not in his character at all).
Anyone been having weird dreams, or nightmares?

I use http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/
to take a look at the various little things in my dreams. I love it. Because I can take those little things, like driving on a roller coaster scared as shit, or the snakes everywhere, or the tornadoes, or my favorite, running from someone who is trying to kill me to kinda put it all together.
I never was much into dream interpretation, but I have found that if I use that site, it actually is kinda dead on.
Some of my dreams are just WEIRD. haha.
Last night I had a dream I was working, and I was at my old job, but I was working as a receptionist instead of a therapist and I had to find a phone # that was in a chart 3x the thickness of the dictionary...and I had to keep running back to my house to check on my kids, my stepfather (I hate him) was watching them and then I realized it was the first day of school...and it was 11am so my daughter was late, and I realized I had 3 other appointments that day and wondered why I ever agreed to work that day...then thought (in my dream) I don't work...why am I working?
Weird.
I've had those bf cheating on me dreams, then again, I've also had dreams where I cheated and I woke up feeling guilty.
